The Linux version was compiled on Ubuntu 11.10 with pulseaudio support. Let me know how that works on other platforms. Don't forget to remove the brltty package on Linux.

The 2.0beta5 release has many internal changes/fixes and adds a new status line at the bottom of the main window that shows where you are connected and who is talking (even when using other tabs). A mic level meter is also included on the status line.

The Utilities tab now includes support for the DVRec file format that is used with the DVAP and dplus releases for gateways. The DVRec file is readable ASCII text and can be an interesting read to see how dstar works (interesting for geeks anyway :) ).

The Setup/Gateways tab has a new checkbox that allows you to automatically reconnect to gateways when your internet connection is a little flaky. It will try every 10 seconds for 3 attempts before giving up.

For the adventurous, you can now include command line options for automatically opening the DV Dongle, connecting to a gateway, etc.

This would allow you to create a desktop shortcut that opens the DV Dongle and connects to REF001 module C. :)

Let me know if you have any issues with the new release. This probably will not fix the MacOS/Lion issue that some are experiencing since it looks like the problem is with the FTDI USB drivers.

Happy New Year!

I just recently purchased the DV Dongle. I do like the software, with one exception. I have "low vision" and have to set the resolution of my laptop so I can see things good. When I use the DV Tool at the resolution not all of the componets show up, and I cant seem to "widen out" or resize the window so I can see everything. Is this just a problem with my laptop or does something else need to be done. I have a couple of other friends with low vision who stated that they have the same problem. Otherwise, the software is GREAT! Thanks.
